PM: 1 hr. pool run

Started more conservative which paid dividends because it was easy to run fast at the end of the workout. We ended up going faster than MP at the end. It was hot at the beginning but the dew point plummeted throughout the run so that it was downright enjoyable at the end. We got lucky in this regard. Feeling pretty damn good going into next weekend's half. If only the weather will cooperate next Sunday for us. It's not looking that great so far. the humidity dew point needs to be low.

feeling a little odd with the reduced volume. You get so used to high mileage and being tired for so long, even a slight reduction changes how you feel during the day.  I feel energized and hyper one minute then very tired the next and this is only a light down week. Marathon taper is going to be unnerving at best.

Getting humid. Not really looking forward to running in this soup tomorrow.
